Petrolo
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Petrolo is a Tuscan winery located in the Val d'Arno di Sopra DOC zone in eastern Tuscany, Italy, producing estate wines from its historic property in Mercatale Valdarno. The estate's signature grape is Merlot, which anchors Galatrona, a single-varietal bottling vinified in French oak barriques and regarded as one of Tuscany's most serious Merlot-based expressions. Torrione is produced from Sangiovese and classified under the Toscana IGT and Val d'Arno di Sopra DOC designations across multiple vintages. The Boggina bottlings - including Boggina C, a Sangiovese, and Boggina B Bianco, a white wine - represent the estate's single-vineyard tier. Torrione serves as the approachable counterpart to the more structured and age-worthy Galatrona across the cellar's range.
